Before it came in a clicky format which you could plaster all over social media, the gentle narcissism came as a conversation among groups of female friends. The ‘share your result’ function on the bottom of these quizzes has become anachronistic of late, with most of us choosing to keep the results of these quizzes to ourselves (with the exception of September’s viral ‘which succession character are you’ quiz - a welcome throwback).īuzzfeed and its contemporaries might have popularised this kind of navel-gazing, but they didn’t invent it. And because it’s just a fun quiz, you’re allowed to broadcast this ringing endorsement of your character all over social media. The point is, you have been given confirmation by an external source that you’re brave, stubborn and handy with a bow. Even if you lied in the answers to make sure that you got the result that you wanted, it didn’t matter. Posting a status reflecting on your personality would have been vain, but putting, ‘I’m Katniss Everdeen’ was a sort of carte blanche for self reflection. Cheryl Cole is the nation’s sweetheart post recovery from Malaria, your favourite outfit involves leggings and your default time wasting activity is to take a quiz on Buzzfeed, find out which Hogwarts house you’re in/ member of SClub7 you are/what your daemon would be, and then post it on your Facebook.
